THE MASONIC MEETING.

The Grand Lodge Finishes the Work Of Hts Annual MeetIng-Installation n
 Of Omcers-TreubIe Between The
 Grand Lodge and Hiram Lodge of
 This City.
 The Masons reassemb1ed yesterday morn ing in Masonic Temple at nine o'clock. Re- ports of various committees were heard and discussion on the recommendations made There had been trouble brewing between the Grand lodge and Hiram lodge of this city, and the culmination came when the Grand lodge deposed the three leading officers re- gently elected by Hiram lodge The deposi- tion was made because of the failure of the Grand lodge. In reality, the coldness between the two was because the Grand lodge had virtually commanded certain things of Hiram lodge. Hon. Lynde Harri- son arose in the meeting and most ably and willingly defended Hiram lodge in the re- fusal to obey the Grand lodge. Hiram lodge is composed of some eight hundred of the most influential, the most prominent and wealthiest men in the city of New Haven. This lodge received it's first charter from the Grand lodge of England, which sat in Boston in 1749 At that time there were in America very few Masons, and none at all in Connecticut. From Hiram lodge sprung up the Grand lodge of Connecticut, thence the claims of Hiram lodge that the Grand lodge has no power to dictate to them. Hiram lodge declares it has by right priori- ty of claim. As MT. Harrison said, the Grand lodge was setting itself up a potentate. Members of Hiram lodge are very much averse to saying anything on the subject, more than they extremely sorry matters have turned out as they have done. They would great deal rather it could have been hushed up, but the Grand lodge did not want to, as it seemingly desired to show it's power. There will be trouble now sure, they say.
 The closing business of the session was devoted to the installation of officers. The grand master announced the following ap pointments: Grand marshal, William w. Price; grand chaplain, Rev. George R. War ner; grand senior steward, E. O. Goodwin; grand junior steward, E. A. Willis; grand treasurer, E. T. Mann.
 The elective and appointed officers were then installed into their respective stations by M w. F. G. M William w. Lee, assisted by M. w. P. G. M. Rowe acting as Grand marshal.
 Hiram lodge had it's regular meeting last night. The trouble with the Grand lodge was discussed, but no plan of action was de- cided upon to pursue in regard to the matter. The members do not know yet exactly what will be done.

ssDOC,, WILSON ARRESrED.

ssBOCS, WILSON AR R ESTEDs
 His Father-in-Law Finds out His
 True Character and Has Him
 Jagged.
 PROVIDENCE, Jan. 20.-stDoc" Levi Wilson was arrested here today on complaint of his father -in-law, MT. Caleb FaInum. MT. Far mum was Wilson's bondsman in a suit brought against him for seduction. the case being an old one. MT. Farnum believes that he has found out the true character of Will son and that he was intending to leave the State tomorrow noon. He therefore em- ployed Lawyer Rollin M. Matthewson in order to protect his interest as bondsman. Wilson being unable to obtain bail up to late hour this afternoon was taken to the State institu tion at Cranston by deputy sheriff. The career of Levi Wilson, who says his real name is Moen, has of late become familiar to the public through continually involving new surprises. That he used to introduce which 10 himself displayed and which has been published in New York papers and in which the well known hardware merchant, MT. Justice of London, sent his regards to Wilson and to ''his wife, meaning Miss Engley. His marriage to Miss Farnam created general surprise in the community, Tn view of his notoriety and her responsibility and that of her family. But it was but the wonder of day, and MT. Wilson and his bride apparently settled down loving couple, nothing more was thought of the matter until the recent revival of interest in Wilson's affairs. It has been generally un derstood that Mrs. Wilson was thoroughly attached to her husband and that he had pleasant home, although his wife was re- ported to be in somewhat delicate health.

FISHERMEN IN DEADLY PERIL.
The Ice tR Lake Erie F8reak1ngUp and Five Hundred Fishermen Taken by &nrnriae.


 Five Hundred Fishermen Taken by
 Surprise.
 BUFFALO, Jan. 20-"The ice is breaking Look out!" was the terrible warning echoed by nearly five hundred fishermen on this end of the lake day. stiff south wester prevailing seemed to have blown the water down the lake and packing the ice upheaved it. The older men read in tee dread words terrible fate and made their way to land. Taking the cue the others followed. The ice at the entrance to the harbor and along the south shore drifted down the river, leaving large spaces of open water between the hardy fisher men and land. A large num- believed to have perished. All of this afternoon anxious watchers scanned the lake and river trying to discover some signs of life on the many floating cakes of ice. From the board of trade building early in the afternoon several figures were seen running along the ice and sigh of relief escaped the watchers when the men were seen to gain the breakwater By dark fully dozen men could be seen on that refuge Lower down in the river wreck CTS saw dogs with sleighs but without owners floating on large cakes to the sure death that awaited them at Niagara Falls. Two men who made their way to land reported having passed a man several miles out who was seemingly injured. They attempted to bring him with them, but failed and were obliged to aban don him in order to save themselves. A telegram from Darby, N. Y , to the chief of police states that two men and team who were cutting ice at Sturgeon Point, twelve miles from here, missing. This is the earliest breakup ever had on this end of the lake and was surprise to everybody. All sorts of rumors are rife and it is not believed that the total loss of life will be known for many days. The fishing grounds extend up about thirteen miles and many men were at the upper end. It is believed, however, they escaped to the Canadian shore.

A Disastrous Explosion at Worcester.
 WORCESTER, Jan. 20.-At 5:05 this after noon there was an explosion in the purifying department of the Spencer gas works and the building was soon wrapped in flames. The structure, which was but just complet- ed, was levelIed to the ground and the loss is fully $10,000. A foreman, Chas Tripp. and g workman, Anthony Pierre, were badly injured. There was $6 ,OOO insurance on the building. The cause of the explosion is unknown, but it was probably caused by the ignorance of Peter Ledou1x in taking light into the purifying room. The company was organ ized last September with $100,000 capital and the gas was turned on last Friday after noon.

SHOT DOWN BY PlNKERTON MEN. Cruel Murder of 4 Small Boy At Ho-
 kQkana

Cruel Murder of Small Boy At HO-
 HoBoKEN, N. J., Jan. 20.-Three Pinker ton detectives who were on duty protecting the men at work at the coal sheds fired on 8 group of boys to-day, killing one, fourteen year lad named Thomas Hogan. A crowd of small boys had been snowballing the Pink erton men when Hogan and ten year old companion who were returning from work came up and stood watching the play. The detectives were very angry and according to bystanders deliberately drew their revolvers and took aim at the boys. One of the men, it is alleged, pointed his revolver at Hogan, although he had not participated in the snowballing, and fired. The ball penetrated the boys right eye and he fell to the side walk and soon expired. The other two men fired several times, seven shots in all being heard. Two of the detectives ran away, but the third stood and coolly lighted his pipe in the presence of the dying boy. The men were recognized and all three arrested. Their names are Patrick Sheeny, Samuel Mfr and Daniel Cahill. About an hour before the shooting Mayor Cleveland went to Comm1s- sioner of Police Tilden and demanded that the Pinkerton men be removed. MT. Tilden refused to obey and the detectives are still on duty.
